Berkeley Homeless Emergency Services

If you are homeless in Berkeley, Albany, or Emeryville and are in need of shelter, housing, or other services, contact the Hub for an eligibility assessment. The Hub is Berkeley’s only way to access shelter and housing for homeless people.

If you are in need of a meal, a shower, a place to use the restroom, or simply a brief break from the streets, the City of Berkeley also provides the services listed below. You do not need to be assessed by the Hub to access the services below, but you are encouraged to contact the Hub to see what else you may be eligible for.
